The drama of the 90s is such a great part of the game too, it's sport at its weirdest and best. I don't know why people would want to diminish that or take it away.

Fine Archer for dissent. Review or walk back to your mark, none of this flabbergasted bullshit at the umpire.

Rahul gave him a weird look and had a word when Pant denied him a double off the 1st ball. So it put pressure on Pant to put Rahul back on strike!

Yeah was a nice drifty ball.

If Rishabh wanted Rahul to get to a 100 before lunch with only 3 deliveries to go, you need to question the team's priorities. It's silly cricket no matter what.
Besides as pointed out, Rahul was pretty upset in the previous delivery prior to the run out that Pant didn't run two.

Are these professional cricketers or kids? Oh no, he gave you a look. You still yell "no" and stand your ground instead of taking a dubious single to one of the most dangerous fielders in the opposition team.

Archer's pace up on the back of his newfound persecution complex.
That’s the point. Pant shifted his objective in that moment to get KL his hundred before lunch rather than batting as he normally might otherwise. Which sure, is nice and selfless of him but it led to a risky single. Instead, he could have played his normal game and gone for a risky 6.

They've changed their leather supply and probably to a cheaper supplier.
So basically Brexit/COVID/War on Russia leading to the greed and everything going up in price in the UK.

A simple raise of the bat was enough especially considering he was half responsible for that run out and giving the momentum back to England. And now potentially ruining India's chances of a series win.

how effortlessly is Archer throwing down these rockets, and look how much Wood gives it to basically bowl the same speed

Reddy seemed more composed in Aus. A bit of a dropoff in allround skills so far.

Mentality seems to have regressed too. There's no way this should have all affected them this much, silly run out or not.

His batting did drop of a little in Aus tbf.
Sundar should be batting ahead of him for sure atm.

You guys need to understand from an Indian perspective and how Indian media, advertisers glorify 'popular' individuals over the team to maximise viewership. This ultimately plays into the psyche of your average viewer much to the point that everything's fine as long as your favorite player does well. There is a superstar culture across industries in India. It becomes a problem if it comes in the way of achieving bigger goals. RCB is a very good example of that.
